PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

A small episode before the game failed to affect the players of the two teams, the one that is very majestic and beautiful in the eyes of American fans is actually not an adult, it is just a small sea eagle, less than a meter long, and the wingspan is only more than 1 meter.

When David Lee and Horford jumped hard at the basketball, they saw that the bald eagle flying all over the court just let out a "woo" cry, rushed down from the top of the court, and suddenly raised its head and glided past when approaching the basketball at high speed, but this action was so frightened that neither of them who had just jumped touched the basketball.

Horford took advantage of his height, and after landing on the ground, he hurriedly reached up, and the basketball was dialed to the Hawks halfcourt.

The fans couldn't help but cheer in unison, and it was the first time they had seen a national bird hovering over the arena, which may have been a good omen for the Eagles.

"A good omen for bullshit!" Wu Huang looked at the opponent in front of him who he had forgotten his name, and took the initiative to use his weak body to play physical confrontation with the other party.

Asilao was not afraid of Emperor Wu's collision, but he underestimated Emperor Wu's cunning and insidiousness, Emperor Wu did not use his muscles to collide with him at all, but used his own bones to kill his opponents, his bones were much more lethal than muscles.

Wu Huang's method of confrontation requires a very subtle skill, because you can't use your fragile joints to fight against the opponent's hardest parts, that's looking for your own death! You must use your hardest bones to hit your opponent's joints and soft ribs in turn, so that you can be lethal.

Although Asilao is older than Emperor Wu. But the experience is insufficient. He didn't expect Emperor Wu's physical confrontation to be so insidious. As soon as I made contact, I couldn't control the basketball.

Wu Huang was quick with his eyes, and he took out the basketball in Asilao's hand with one hand!

The referee hesitated in his heart, this ball can be blown or not, if it is at the home court of the Knicks, it will definitely not be blown, but he can blow it away from home, but Wu Huang's fame is too great, thinking of this, he hesitated again.

Wu Huang immediately grabbed control of the basketball at the moment when the referee hesitated. Turned around and launched a fast attack.

"Haha, give me a big gift as soon as you come up!" Wu Huang found that there was no one in front of him, and he was proud in his heart, but he didn't expect the stupid eagle to suddenly hover over the court again, Wu Huang only heard a "goo" above his head in his ears, and instantly thought of the aggressiveness of the bald eagle in his mind, and couldn't help but slow down and glance upward, and found that the stupid eagle was just passing over his head, but the Eagles players took the opportunity to rush back to the defensive position.

"Fuck you, uncle!" Emperor Wu immediately scolded in his heart!

At this moment, he suddenly thought, this stupid eagle could not have been deliberately released by the Eagles, right? Doesn't it say that it is specially trained? In case someone controls it to fly around on their head. Can he still be in shape? And if it wasn't released on purpose, how could it be easily untied if it was tethered?

The Hawks fans were laughing miserably. They all saw that Wu Huang could have dribbled directly to the basket, but this bald sea eagle suddenly glided over his head, Wu Huang's speed immediately slowed down, and he looked up, this is really cowardly, just a juvenile sea eagle scared him like this.

The fans at the scene immediately ridiculed Wu Huang for being as cowardly as a mouse...... But they don't want to think about it, this bald eagle is one of the most ferocious eagles, it is a large bird of prey with a fierce temperament, even if its claws and beak are trapped, but to be hit by his speed of more than 50 kilometers at that time, it is estimated that it will be tragic, especially Wu Huang is so afraid of death, he heard the sound and did not look up to glance at it.

The Knicks' quick counterattack didn't work, and after landing in the frontcourt, they began to execute high-post blocking tactics.

David Lee quickly brought it up, and Wu Huang used the cover of his teammate's body to find a breakthrough opportunity.

The Hawks are mindful of his defense, with Marvin Williams and Joe Johnson on both wings keeping an eye on him, and Josh Smith and Horford on the interior ready to help defend him.

Wu Huang subconsciously felt bad, and passed the ball out casually.

Gallinari received the basketball on the weak side and then burst in, only to crash headlong into the encirclement originally designed for Wu Huang, and the basketball was directly cut off by the Eagles players.

"Damn, if you don't have a chance, you can spread it!" Wu Huang scolded in his heart, but he didn't say anything, Gallinari should know where he did wrong, as long as he didn't make mistakes one after another, he would not easily criticize the players, and the "criticism" must be to the point, instead of complaining about the mistakes of his teammates anytime and anywhere.

Both teams played cautiously after the opening, and Wu Huang found that the Eagles did play much better at home than the first two games, mainly reflected in the more timely rotation and filling of the defensive end. In fact, sometimes, if you just perform a little better, the results can be very different. For example, now, as soon as the Hawks' defense improves, the Knicks are in trouble with their offense today. Maybe the first two games were played too smoothly, and today's Knicks players always feel a little worse, and they can't get into a few offenses.

It wasn't until 9:25 of the first quarter that the Knicks scored their first goal — David Lee threw himself under the basket this time, using his explosiveness to force a frontcourt rebound on Horford's head and then add the ball, and the New York center's form looked good today.

This is also for a reason, it is said that his Polish girlfriend finally reconciled with him, David Lee successfully saved his love, and his mood was naturally different from before. In fact, he and Horford are only a little bit behind, so as long as he is in good shape and dares to make moves against Horford, at least he can play at the level he deserves on the offensive end.

The Hawks changed their defensive approach to Wu Huang today, in the previous two games, the Hawks have been using two players to wrap him in the first line of defense, but Wu Huang's speed and explosiveness are too outstanding, and the ability to seize timing and catch flaws is extremely strong, and the Knicks have long been prepared for this kind of bagging, and the Hawks' outside players are very average...... So don't look at the two people, but they often don't have time to lay out the defensive line, and Wu Huang has already held the ball and killed it with the help of his teammates' cover.

Today the Eagles' defense has changed. Wu Huang found that the first line of defense he faced was no longer a double bag. Today he was facing only one person - Asilao, who was not taken seriously by him at all.

This person. Wu Huang really didn't pay attention to it, he felt that he could pass him with his eyes closed, in fact, it was almost the same, Asilao's defense was almost useless to him, but the Eagles didn't plan to use their first line of defense to stop Wu Huang today, and the Eagles' killing moves today were arranged in the second line of defense!

Larry Drew used two players on the inside to help defend Wu Huang today, and Asilao will not care if he is broken through, he will directly make up for the weak side to switch to Gallinari or Iguodala. The rest of the Hawks all shrank to the basket while cutting off Wu's outside pass, not giving him a chance to score or assist, and even letting Iguodala go for that.

Wu Huang was a little uncomfortable in the face of this kind of defense, in the first quarter 8:02, he just broke through Asilao, who turned his head and switched in the direction of Gallinari, Mark Williams left the Italian to pounce on the basket, Wu Huang was surrounded by three Hawks players on the inside in the blink of an eye, and finally he passed the basketball to Iguodala who was empty. was cut off by Joe Johnson in the middle of the game, and the Hawks easily counterattacked to score two points.

The score is 8:2. This time, it became the Knicks who fell behind by a large score at the beginning, Wu Huang was targeted by the Hawks a little bit today, and the opposing position and defensive selection looked like a rehearsed routine, and D'Antoni could only ask for a timeout to adjust.

But being given a routine, the mustache didn't have a good way for a while, and the playoff game was like that, full of targeting and counter-targeting, routines and anti-routines...... It took the Eagles several days, I don't know how many brain cells took to come up with a plan, if you crack it with a long timeout, it can only be said that the gap between the two sides is too much, it is obviously impossible.

So after the timeout, Iguodala started to have more possession, which is the Knicks' only option at the moment.

Today, the Hawks' defense and routines are obviously aimed at Wu Huang, and the Knicks instead let Iguodala increase the proportion of balls, which is equivalent to bypassing these traps, and the Hawks can no longer use this defensive routine. But the Eagles' goal has been achieved, Iguodala's threat with the ball is not as great as Wu Huang's, even if he is allowed to hold the ball more, this result is beneficial to the Eagles, then the tactics are successful.

Wu Huang can play at a star level when he is not on the ball, and many experts believe that this is the most terrifying thing about him, and there are very few players in the league who can play at a high level with the ball and become a magical pitcher without the ball.

Although Kobe Bryant and Wade can both play without the ball, their threat without the ball will drop a lot, except for Wu Huang, only Durant has the hope of playing superstar level with and without the ball in the future.

After the Knicks were held by Iguodala, Wu Huang became a bit like Iverson when he was with the 76ers, and the roles of the two were completely reversed, and Wu Huang is now the scoring guard.

Asilao was quickly substituted, he still couldn't prevent Wu Huang without the ball, and at this time he couldn't let go of the opponent like before, Wu Huang without the ball was all over the court, as long as he was not careful, he would get rid of the defense and get an open shooting opportunity.

In the first quarter of 5 minutes and 58 seconds, Wu Huang took advantage of the team's positioning cover, first threw off Crawford who was behind him to receive the basketball, and then did not hesitate for half a minute in the face of Josh's change of defense, and immediately started to break through to the basket, but after taking a step, he immediately changed direction and turned to the left low position, this coherent breakthrough action directly flashed a big gap, Wu Huang jumped a picturesque backward shot, and the blue ball fell into the net with a "boom"!

Josh Smith was dazzled by Wu Huang's operation, the big man was already at a disadvantage to defend the small man, Wu Huang's operation did not give him a chance at all, and finally finished the opponent with a difficult picturesque shot.

The Phillips arena was silent, only Crawford could make such a pleasing breakthrough on their team, and even Joe Johnson couldn't do such a difficult breakthrough and back-to-back because he didn't have such good ball sense and flexibility.

The score was 15:12, and after the Knicks changed to Iguodala holding the ball, they narrowed the difference.

Although D'Antoni didn't think of how to crack the Hawks' defense of Wu Huang, he was very clever to bypass this difficulty, and the Knicks who switched to the second plan still made the Hawks very passive, and they didn't have time to think of a countermeasure to crack the Knicks' No. 2 offensive plan.

But today is the home of the Eagles. In particular, there is a silly eagle on his head, pretending to be the mascot of an eagle, and from time to time he dives downward. The key is to always fly towards Emperor Wu's head. This left the New York Emperor on three consecutive shots in the second half of the first quarter.

Wu Huang has a reason to put the blame on this stupid eagle at this time, but the Eagles' defense did a good job today, and the Atlantans still chose to rely on their own defense to win the game, and Wu Huang can't always score as wonderful goals as just now every time.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 23:22, and the Knicks played well today, they didn't score a few points in the first minutes and the last minutes of the opening game, and most of those 22 points were scored in the middle of the quarter. This shows that as long as the Knicks play with a touch, they can score 20 points in six or seven minutes, and the Hawks dare not relax for a moment, resulting in their own offense not playing.

"In the second quarter, we were going to increase our three-point shooting, and their defensive center was on the inside, and they were trying to get the ball in from mid-to-long range." Before the start of the second quarter, D'Antoni instructed the team to play more double screens for Wu Huang, using two people to separate the opposing defense and create a single opportunity for Wu Huang to be 20 feet away.

Wu Huang felt that this was a good idea, and the defense that the Eagles had laid out for him was mainly in the concentration and close range. To be exact, within 18 feet of the basket, although it is not known if such a defense will expand the range to the outside. But they can use both of them to keep their opponents in the middle line, and it won't take much time for him to finish off Asilao or Crawford, as long as his team-mate can create a single opportunity for him to play for a second or two.

In the second quarter, it can be seen from the on-court lineups of the two teams that there is really no one on the Hawks' bench who can be of great use, except for Crawford, most of their starters are still on the court, and Larry Drew does not dare to take the main team down to rest in this stalemate situation.

D'Antoni made only two substitutions at the beginning of the second quarter, but Wu Huang was still on the court, and he also did not dare to replace the core of his team in Game 5 to rest. This game is too important for both teams, this is a battle of life and death, Wu Huang himself doesn't want to go down to rest, he feels that he can hold on to playing a full game once in a while, and he must not be cowardly today, just do it!

Knicks lineup: Wu Huang, Danny Green, Harrington, Fry, Francisco Elson.

As soon as the second quarter came up, the Knicks attacked first, Wu Huang advanced to the front court with the ball, and Crawford stared at him tightly in front of him, but there was still only one person.

As long as the Knicks are in possession of the ball, the Hawks insist on one-man defense today, but players on the interior and on both wings will be ready to retract the defense at any time. In fact, this is still a time difference, if the inside line or the defense of the two wings is a little slower, Wu Huang can directly kill it. However, it can be seen that the Eagles must have spent time practicing this set of defense before the game, and they were able to complete their encirclement before Wu Huang formed an attack, and they practiced this defensive formation very tacitly.

Wu Huang had tried to pass the basketball to his teammates in the open space before the opponent surrounded him, but the Eagles' execution was very good, and the tacit cooperation did not give him this opportunity. He felt that if he could simulate this kind of defense with his teammates more during team training, then the Hawks might not be able to have such a high execution efficiency, and he would definitely be able to find a flaw, but in the end, there is still no time to figure out how to be limited.

This time he followed the trick method that D'Antoni came up with to crack the Hawks' defense, but the effect was not good, and people were not stupid, so he naturally tested the defects of this defense in training, and the long shot was indeed one of the ways to crack the defense, but it was only one of the worst methods, because this kind of long shot was not efficient, and the Hawks would like Wu Huang to do this, they would be able to wait for the opportunity to fight back, and if they didn't do well, they could also play a wave to teach Wu Huang to be a man.

The Eagles did this, although Asilao's first line of defense was very easy to break through, but Wu Huang now only intends to shoot from a long distance, so there are fewer defensive options, so it is naturally easy to defend. Even if Wu Huang can still use his personal ability to get a chance to shoot, but just like the Hawks expected in advance, his offensive efficiency is not good enough, unless the hand explosion continues to hit difficult shots, the Hawks will definitely score faster than the Knicks.

In the second quarter of 8 minutes and 45 seconds, Wu Huang made 4 shots from the outside in more than three minutes in the quarter, but only hit 1 shot, and his shots have increased to 9 times, hitting only 3 shots, and his shooting percentage was very low today, and the result was that the Hawks turned the score into 30:26, and they led the Knicks by four points.

D'Antoni called a timeout again and was ready to bring on his full squad.

In the past few minutes, the rotation lineup led by Wu Huang has not performed well on the field, except that he himself did not get a few points, Harrington was also limited by the Hawks today, and the most obvious improvement after this opponent returned to the home court was the defense.

Wu Huang was very unhappy, it seemed that the method of long-range shooting was useless, and the Knicks began to control the ball by Iguodala again after the timeout.

But this time, the Hawks also made changes, they used the same methods used to deal with Wu Huang in the previous four games to deal with today's Iguodala, although the Knicks' second leader can hold the ball, but there are still many differences between him and a serious point guard, such as his ability to protect the ball is definitely not as good as the No. 1 position of Zheng'er 800, there is no problem when one-on-one, once he encounters the bag, he can't hold the ball.

Iguodala soon made a passing mistake in the bag, and the first brother was also embarrassed at this time, and he was a little embarrassed, because Wu Huang's running position was too erratic, even if his teammates wanted to pass the ball, they had to take a look to determine where Wu Huang was going to run, he couldn't get the ball out quickly, and the Eagles were trying to catch this time difference, and the purpose of their wrapping of Iguodala was to break his pass.

The Hawks put in a lot of effort in this game, and the Knicks once again fell into a three-minute scoring drought under the targeted defense of the Hawks, even if their own offense did not play well, but they still opened an eight-point gap after entering the middle of the quarter.

At 5:16, Gallinari finally ended the scoring panic for the Knicks, but this goal was his gain after two consecutive missed shots, and the Italian couldn't shoot today.

The Eagles rotated very quickly and were very targeted today, and they were very careful about stealing the passing lane when they set a trap for Wu Huang before. Then when they wrapped up Iguodala, they were also very attentive to his ball, which made it difficult for Iguodala to get the ball back into Wu Huang's hands. Even when passing to other teammates, they are not easy to shoot in the open position, because Iguodala can't get the ball out of the first place under the Hawks' bag, which is another difference between him and a serious point guard - the ball is slower.

In the last game, the Knicks players were in good shape, even if they were not vacant, they had a high shooting rate, but today on the road was completely different, Gallinari and Harrington did not have a shooting touch, the difference between home and away was beyond imagination, and even Wu Huang was not as accurate as he was at home.

"There must be a way, Kobe Bryant is so iron, he can still win here. Wade and James' three-pointers are so bad that they can also beat the Hawks in Atlanta. I don't know how much better my shooting is than theirs, so there's no reason why I can't do it! Wu Huang watched the score almost being pulled away little by little, and he was a little anxious in his heart, and forcibly blackened others to cheer him up, this kind of thing is only he can do.

But he didn't think about it, and that was because the team was defending hard. Just like today's Hawks, in addition to their good defense, they played poorly on the offensive end, but they were able to open up the gap point by point, and the reason was that the Knicks did not prevent the Hawks' offense, otherwise the result would have been completely different.

The so-called strong team means that even if you can't attack at this time, you can fight with you with the same solid defense! It's a big deal to score less than anyone who makes the opponent score less today, the Celtics and Cavaliers can still win the game if they don't score 80 points in a game, but the Knicks don't say 80 points, even if they don't score 100 points, it is difficult to win the game, this is the difference between them and the really strong team.

The most important thing in NBA away games is not offense but defense, this important battle of Tianwang Mountain, the main reason why they are not favored by the outside world is that the defense is too bad!

The Knicks' away results are not good, also because they are not strong defensively, so the low odds are not unfounded, fans who like to gamble generally know more about football than ordinary fans, because once they guess wrong, it is not as simple as going to the forum to fight with others, but the loss is real money.
